György Enyedi (geographer)

György Enyedi, Hungarian economist and geographer (d. 2012)
György Enyedi (25 August 1930 – 10 September 2012) was an economist and geographer who has played a major role in the long-term development of regional science. In the second part of the 20th century due to the rapid development of integrative spatial sciences, regional science became an independent discipline - György Enyedi is a decisive figure in this process.
